How do we know that Jesus intercedes for us?

Answered in 11 sources

The Bible affirms that Jesus sits at God's right hand and intercedes for believers, demonstrating His ongoing role as our advocate.

Romans 8:34 emphasizes Jesus' position at the right hand of God, which is significant because it illustrates His authority and the completeness of His work in salvation. After His death and resurrection, Jesus was exalted, signifying that He not only accomplished redemption but continues to play an active role in the salvation of His people by interceding on their behalf.

This ministry of intercession serves as a reminder that believers are never alone in their struggles against sin and accusations. The presence of Christ in the heavenly realm assures us that He continually speaks on our behalf. Thus, when confronted with guilt or condemnation, believers can find comfort knowing that Jesus is our advocate who has faced every trial and temptation, providing support and strength to those who trust in Him. His intercession is a vital part of our salvation experience, pointing to the grace that secures us and the peace we find in Him.
